title: Characterisation of phenolic glycolipids from Mycobacterium marinum.
abstract: The phenolic glycolipids from two strains of Mycobacterium marinum have been isolated and characterised. The glycolipids from M. marinum MNC 170 were principally glycosides of diacyl C37, C39 and C41 phenolphthiocerols A, but in M. marinum MNC 842, these lipids were accompanied by glycosides of diacyl phenolphthiodiolones A and novel phthiotriols A with the same overall chain-lengths. The main acyl components of the phenolic glycolipids from M. marinum MNC 170 were C26 dimethyl and C27 and C29 trimethyl-branched fatty acids, but in the lipids of M. marinum MNC 842, the C27 trimethyl acid was the only principal component. The sugar composition of all these glycolipids had been previously shown to correspond to 3-O-methylrhamnose.
